Change your white balance during a sunrise or sunset. Take your camera off auto white balance and switch to Cloudy or Shady white balance. This will add more strength to the reds, oranges and yellows. Auto White Balance tries to keep colors neutral.

Looking for inspiration for your photography? Look no further than Learn & Explore, the area on the Nikonusa website that is packed full of educational articles, how-to tutorials and inspirational pieces on all sorts of photography topics.

Carry your camera manual, especially if your camera is new. When traveling you'll probably have a chance to try some new shots. It can also be the time you’re likely to forget the function of a particular button. Or you may just want to explore all the cool things today’s cameras offer.

Experiment with the white balance settings outside. White balance on your camera will alter the color temperature and appearance you get in your picture. For instance, a CLOUDY setting will give your pictures a warmer cast. The FLUORESCENT setting will make your photographs cooler, skewing to a purple cast.

When traveling abroad, check the power setting and type of plugs. Most modern chargers do both 110 volts (USA) and 220 volts (most of the rest of the world). Check yours, and then pick the right adapter for the plug. Be careful to not use a 110-volt power strip in higher-voltage countries.

Turn on the lights when shooting inside the house. Lamps and overhead lights will brighten any picture indoors. The light will add depth to the picture and often warm up the color. Most importantly, it will brighten up the background.

Be creative with your posing. Don't just line everybody up. Use the steps or the arm of a couch to experiment with some people standing and others sitting. Have kids sitting in laps or someone sitting on the floor or kneeling. Mix it up.

Get yourself in the picture. Nothing is worse than a vacation with no shots of the family photographer. Get in the picture by using a tripod (or a steady surface such as a wall or a car hood) and the camera’s self-timer to make sure you're included in the family memories.

Jump for fun. Have your kids line up for a picture. As the photographer, get low, and get ready to shoot. Have the kids all jump in the air at the same time. Capturing them mid jump can bring out their true personalities.

When photographing a lot of people at a party, use your camera’s Smart Portrait System to help you get better pictures. The blink mode lets you know if your subjects blinked, and the smile timer can snap the photo when the camera sees that your subjects are smiling.

Try turning off your flash at night to get what your eye really sees. If it's at all dark or dim, the camera will try to fire the flash. Find the flash off icon (usually a lightning bolt with a line through it) and select it. Make sure to hold steady, or use a tripod, because the shutter speed may be slow.

Use the pet scene mode when photographing cats and dogs. If your camera doesn’t have a pet mode, disable the audible beeps and focus assist lamps while photographing them so the lights and sounds aren’t a distraction.

Go shooting with a friend. Not only will you add another pair of eyes to find interesting subjects, but you’ll also feed off of each other’s ideas and energy. Try to organize regular shoots in the park. Share lenses or tips on making that unforgettable photo.

Use fill flash to add a little sparkle to your subject’s eyes when shooting portraits outdoors, during the day. Even in bright sunlight, fill flash can even out the lighting for a more pleasing photograph.

Compose photos using the “rule of thirds.” Think of the frame as being broken into nine rectangles (like a tic-tac-toe grid over the picture). Place your subject at one of the intersections of the lines for a more visually stimulating photo.

When shooting an image that has a subject looking off to one side, compose your photograph so there is more space where the subject is looking. This will give your photograph more of a natural feeling.

When shooting landscapes at dusk or nighttime, use a tripod and cable release or self-timer so you can slow down the shutter speed to let in more light. This is the technique used when you see pictures of car lights as lines, not pinpoints.

One of the rules of composition says that horizon lines should not be placed in the center of an image, but closer to the top or bottom of the frame. Sometimes rules are meant to be broken. When you’re photographing a subject and its reflection, its perfectly fine to place the horizon in the center of the frame.

Unleash the power of Nikon's DX-format HDSLR system.

Meet the new flagship of Nikon's outstanding DX-format HDSLR line-up: the D7100. Incorporating recent advancements in HDSLR technology, the D7100 brings a thrilling new level of image quality, speed, connectivity and creative capabilities—a specially designed 24.1-megapixel DX-format image sensor, superior low-light performance, ultra-precise autofocus and metering, advanced video recording features, built-in HDR, mobile connectivity and much, much more. Pair it with any of Nikon's superb NIKKOR DX- and FX-format lenses, versatile Speedlights and accessories, and the D7100 will be the centerpiece of your creativity for years to come.

Capture every detail true to life

Pure, sharp images

The D7100 marks an exciting advancement in image quality for high-resolution DX-format cameras. Nikon specially designed its 24.1-megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor without using an optical low pass filter (OLPF), resulting in the purest, sharpest images using D7100's DX-format CMOS sensor. Combine that with fantastic ISO performance at both ends of the spectrum—down to ISO 100 and up to ISO 6400—the processing speed and intelligence of EXPEED 3 and the extra lens reach of a 1.3x crop factor, and the D7100 is the ultimate tool for those seeking a lightweight DX-format HD-SLR.

Speed and precision in harmony

High-speed shooting with flawless metering and autofocus

When the action speeds up, fire a blazing fast 6 frames per second continuously for up to 100 shots. Building on the acclaimed autofocus system from the D300s, the D7100 uses 51 focus points, including 15 cross-type sensors for detecting both vertical and horizontal contrast variations, to achieve fast, precise focus. The central cross-type sensor works all the way down to f/8, a huge advantage when using compatible teleconverters. At the same time, a highly accurate 2016-pixel RGB sensor evaluates every scene, taking into account brightness, contrast, subject distance and color, for spot-on auto operations like Face-Priority and full-time autofocus during video capture.

Wireless sharing and control

Compatible with the WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter

The D7100 makes it easy to share your great photos immediately, wherever you are. Connect the optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter and instantly transfer shots to a compatible smartphone or tablet, then upload them to the web, send by email or text—share them however you like. With Nikon's free Wireless Mobile Utility installed on your smartphone or tablet (available for both Android and iOS), you can also remotely control the D7100. Use your phone or tablet as a Live View monitor to take shots without having the camera in your hands, a huge advantage for everything from self portraits to digiscoping with a Nikon fieldscope.

Create movies that amaze

Dazzling 1080p videos, slow-motion and time-lapse sequences

With full-time autofocus and manual exposure control during video recording, a built-in stereo mic and an external stereo mic jack, headphone and HDMI jacks, the D7100 achieves exceptional cinematic reproduction and quality. Record in several high-definition formats: 1080@50/60i, 1080@24/25/30p or 720@30/60p. Dual SD card slots give you additional recording time, and an all new 60i function enables smooth playback on HDTVs or external monitors. And, of course, every shot looks great through a NIKKOR lens. Create beautiful background blur with the AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G, or use the AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm for an ultra-wide-angle view that's perfect for establishing shots and working in tight interiors.

Creativity on demand

The D7100 will inspire your creativity to new heights. Built-in HDR (High Dynamic Range) combines shots taken simultaneously at different exposures into one beautifully rich, high-contrast image. Picture Control gives you instant access to the color characteristics of your images, and spot White Balance control for Live View shooting makes setting the white balance as easy as pointing to the area in the frame that should be white. You can even apply artistic Image Effects to both stills and videos in real-time.

High-end design

The D7100 has the comfortable handling and durability of a high-end Nikon camera. A durable magnesium alloy body with moisture and dust resistance protects the camera's internal parts from the elements. A new 3.2-inch ultra-high-resolution 1,229K-dot LCD monitor provides crisp image playback, menu adjustments and Live View shooting, and a new viewfinder with a low-power consumption electro-luminescent (EL) data display provides approx. 100% frame coverage.

The D7100 is awesome. I Really like the selective color option. Very pleased with my purchase.

Really fast, beautiful photos!
I moved up to this camera from the D5100. I was ready to move on to a more advanced body, and the D7100 was perfect! What I noticed first was the how quickly the auto focus locked in. You can go from having the camera off to snapping a perfectly focused shot in about a second. Everything this camera does is fast. The images have come out looking gorgeous! I do mostly nature and landscape photography, but also like to takes pictures of my kids, and the D7100 does a fantastic job of getting those shots of the kids running and playing. If you can't afford to step up to the full frame bodies, as well as having to buy all new lenses, then this camera is perfect. Whether you are using a prime lens, or a zoom, this camera will take photos you can really be proud of.

Best DSLR..!
I have been using this DSLR since one year and i am now finding an excuse from my work to take this camera out for a trip and shoot . Picture clarity is awesome and i felt like it as complete DSLR. If you are a PRO.. this is the DSLR you are looking for. Focussing is very fast and that`s a great thing to capture moving targets,. Strong build and whether proof.
Only minus i found was lack of aperture control in movie mode gets a facepalm

D5100-->D7000-->D7100 [lovin the transistion..]
Always wished to get this one on a good deal. Then I realized that it does not make sense to save couple of bugs and end up in missing the fun altogether. When you want to enjoy technology at its peak, just go for it, otherwise you will never enjoy the moments. I'm pretty much sure no one would have regretted their purchase after investing in D7100.Here are some of the coolest features which I liked about D7100:50+ Auto Focus points and they are customizable. Faster Auto focus. Two slots for SD cards and kind of RAID support in camera and customizableU1 and U2 user dial mode. Larger sensor size- 24 megapixel. Customizable menu for quicker access to the function you often use more frequently. Feels sturdy and safe when i hold it on my right hand [BTW,,I'm lefty], but still feels secure and comfortable on right hand.I did not like about this was on Attached LCD, Wish they had TILT vari- angle display on d7100 too. I can live with this deficient feature as compare to the tons of features this camera can offer. Learnt few tricks and ways to look at the subject during shooting...Since this camera was much popular in market, there are plenty of DVDs/books/YouTube videos published on how to use this camera. Most of them will help us on how to get onboard with this camera. Man!! I'm glad that, I own this camera now!!!.

Best semi-professional DSLR from all brands..
High resolution DX sensor and comparatively less weighted body is very interesting..
Frame rate also excelent according to the resolution.
1080x1920/60i movie mode is the best video feature in this DSLR..

I am looking forward to upgrading from the D7000 to the D7100. One issue with the D7000 is filling the buffer and waiting for the RAW photos to be transferred to the SD card. I would like to purchase SD cards that minimize the transfer time but I do not want to pay for speed in the card that the processor in the D7100 will not utilize when transferring photos. The manual for the D7000 says a class 6 card is needed as a minimum for continuous video. But I cannot find anywhere a card class or speed for fastest possible transfer of still photos to the card. Thank you..

the cameras limit is 99. the best card is 95. therefor, the card is the limiting factor. I found a caution about using uhs II cards, they will work, but may actually slow things down.

The San Disk Extreme Pro has a write speed of 95 mb/s. I am using this in my new D7100 and it isFANTASTIC. I will not elaborate further as someone else already provided excellent information. I just wanted to support their comments.

The D7100 can write at 99MB/s. I only managed to find one SD card (backed with read & write speed specs) that can come close to matching the D7100's write speed. The SanDisk Extreme Pro can support a write speed of 95 MB/s. Other makes that list fast speeds are only listing their read speeds; their write speeds are actually lower. They all read about the same speed.

Edit: There is a new SD card spec that was just recently released - UHS-II which supports a write speed of 250 MB/s. The D7100 is UHS-I compliant.

OK, must be UHS-1. But will the transfer time decrease with a 95MB/s SD card vs. a 45MB/s card? In other words, what is the limiting factor here, card or camera?

One caveat to JoeR's answer, there are some UHS-1 cards that go only up to 45mb/s vs others that go as high as 95mb/s so make sure you know what you're getting.

The use of 95MB / s SD Card, 12-bit compressed RAW mode, and disabling the distortion correction you will achieve up to 12 images 6FP / s. In 1.3x mode, 6fp/s 17 images. While the buffer is small, but the electronic processing is very fast and makes emptying the buffer in less than 3 seconds. (provided you use a card capable of recording as fast)

Wow, so disappointing. Don't get me wrong, the D7100 is impressive, and It may be the new "Flagship" of the DX line, but is certainly not a D300s replacement. The small raw frame buffer is a deal-breaker for me. I have used a D7000 along with my D300 for years. The D7000 frame buffer kept it from being useful for action photography. Now the frame buffer on the 7100 is even less. Nikon, you let me down...

I wish they did. I'm a beginner and had the D7000 and dropped it in a river. hghuieahfiruoa!!!!!!! It came on after drying it out forever but was stuck in date setting mode. I sent it to Nikon to see if it was repairable. They sent it back saying unrepairable. fhdusiaorheuia!!!!!!

So I decided to upgrade to the D7100 since lenses still worked, but the LCD cover didn't work. And no places to attach one! jfdksapufjesaf;dk!!!!!!!

At work, I have a D7000 with a BM-11 LCD cover. Personnally, I have a D7100 with a Zagg protective sheet on the LCD. I needed something before going to Singapore, and could not get a Zagg fitted sheet in time. My local Best Buy had a Zagg 3 Pack and I trimmed one of these to fit. It installed easily, and has worked fine ever since. I use Zagg skins on my Nikon D7100 and D5100, iPhones(2), iPad, Garmin Zumo GPS, and Galaxy 3S work phone. I've never had a problem with any Zagg product, and the Zagg skin is much clearer than the BM-11.

From comparing photos, I suspect that the BM-14 cover, which was originally for the D600, is going to work on this camera; they both have 3.2" screens, and look almost identical, on the back.

I noticed the same thing. It doesn't look like Nikon is going to use an LCD cover on the D7100 which is a shame. If you look at the pic you will see the absence of attachment points and also raised areas on the edge of the LCD screen are not there.

My D70 and D7000 use LCD covers and those covers have saved the screens on both bodies on more than one occasion. I think Nikon is trying to push FX more and as a result the DX line is being push down towards the entry level photographer.

Multiple exposures to a single image is still limited to three.Page 141 of user's manual mentions it in the first sentence where it states that you can have two or three. Later it confuses the matter when it talks about gain being 1/2 for 2 exposures and 1/3 for three etc. The etc. makes you think that you can have more, but you can't.

Sorry about "greytourist" and "JoeR (Number one contributor)".They bought miss up with multiple exposure and bracketing.In multiple expose function D7100 create only one image file, but it is choice from 2 or 3 exposures. That is why that function named “multiple exposure”.In Auto bracketing function D7100 create separate image files.And it can be AE (Auto Expose) & Flash, AE only, Flash only, WB (White Balance), and ADL (Active D-Lighting) bracketing.Auto bracketing Max number for D7100 is five, except ADL (Active D-Lighting) bracketing for which max is 3.Good luck.

THe D7100 shoots 6 FPS in DX mode and 7 FPS in 1.3X mode. Is there a FPS boost when the battery pack MB-D15 is used for either modes? Thanks!

The D7000 did not get a burst speed boost with the battery pack attached. None of the literature -- or pre-release reviews -- mention any fps increase. Still 6 fps is better than some of Nikon's FX cameras.

Technicaly MB-D15 grip use six AA batteries, which if you use rechargeble batteries, will produce 7.2 volts(the same voltage as original EN-EL 15 battery).

For FPS boost Nikon SLR cameras needs higher voltage.

For example D300, D300S grip used or 8 AA batteries, which provide 8.9 volts with rechargeble AA batteries and 12 volts with Alkaline AA batteries, or EN-EL4a rechargeable Li-ion battery, which providing 11.1 volts.MB-D15 grip use only six AA batteries (Alkaline or Ni-MH or Lithium), or EN-EL 15 rechargeable Li-ion batteries. That meens camera will get only 7.2 volts.

There is no hard cover like the D7000 has, but I use a Zagg cover that works great. The D7100 cover was not available at my local Best Buy, but I bought a larger one and cut it to size. You can get the D7100 from the Zagg website. I was leaving for Singapore and could not wait.

With the camera ready to shoot (no menu displayed), press the i button. The i button is the bottom button to the left of the screen. The screen display will have the ML-3 remote mode at the bottom left of the screen with a yellow cursor somewhere on the bottom two rows of the screen. Use the directional control to move the cursor to the ML-3 mode display. Press OK to bring up the ML-3 options and use the directional control to select the desired option. Press OK again, and your desired ML-3 mode is active. See page 10 of the User's Guide, The Information Display, and page 12, Changing Settings on the Information Display.

I have a D90 and on bright sunny days it's almost impossible to see the monitor when shooting videos.

I have spent hours alone with my new D7100 and with a professional photographer who shoots with Nikons. We cannot for the life of us figure this ONE Question out. How do you MOVE THE FOCUS POINT (Focal Point) around without being in Manual Focus Mode? We can do it without a problem on his Nikon (I think it was a D90).

I will further clarify: If we put the camera in Manual Focus, it allows us to move the focus point around both while viewing the LCD screen in the INFO mode and while looking in to the camera viewfinder. We CAN see the highlighted focal point and move it around with the d-pad.

But we cannot do this in the Auto-Focus mode. And, YES WE ARE in AF-S.

I would be so incredibly grateful for help in resolving this incredibly challenging issue.

I have searched the manual high and low and cannot find the solution.

Thank you!

You probably have the Focus Lock on. It is the ring around the Multi-selector and OK button on the right rear of the camera. If it is set to L, the focus position is locked. Move it to the dot, and make sure you are not set to Auto area-AF. You should now be able to move the focus point with the Multi-selector. Page 75 of the User's Guide covers this area. The mention the thing about not being in Auto area-AF in the box at the bottom of the page.

First be sure that your camera is in Single-Point AF Area Mode. If you are shooting in AF-S with Single-Point AF-Area Mode you will be able to move your focus point. The AF-Area mode is changed by pressing the AF mode button and rotating the sub-command dial (front dial). Additionally, the focus point will be locked if the Focus Selector Lock on the back of the camera is set to "L".

An important thing to note is that the focus point will only move if the viewfinder and control panel have been activated by a half-press of the shutter release button. When you half-press the shutter release button the focus point will be activated, along with the viewfinder and control panel shutter speed and aperture displays. You will then be able to move the focus point using the multi-selector. This is deactivated after about 6 seconds if no operations are performed. You can adjust the amount of time the focus point remains active by changing the Standby Timer settings (C2 in custom settings menu).
